Make that Beshear for VP.
Andy Beshear would be a solid 2024 presidential candidate if Joe Biden doesn’t run again. He’s proven himself to be a smart, capable and compassionate leader in Kentucky. So far I’ve only seen him on honorable mention lists.

As the Supreme Court has grown more powerful, so have individual justices who have unchecked lifetime tenure. This is no way to run a democracy.
Tell Congress: We need Supreme Court term limits now ⬇️

I know nothing about this candidate, but he’s got my vote if he changes his campaign slogan to “Things Can Only Get Better.” #The80sCalledAndThey

💯 and Alan’s a pretty good storyteller as well…for a former reporter and baseball-book writing junkie. #TwilightInHazard #Appalachia #EastKentucky #OpioidCrisis #Rural #Coal #MineSafety
Very gratifying to hear Barbara Kingsolver repeat many of the talking points of “Twilight in Hazard” in her recent interview with Ezra Klein. Check it out if you’re looking for a non-fiction counterpart to “Demon Copperhead.”

The one thing all Americans agree on is that no one on the #GOPDebate stage tonight has a prayer of becoming president.

The Orioles should be ashamed if this is why Kevin Brown was suspended.

Three Delco men are serving life sentences for a 1997 murder their lawyers say they didn't commit.
Using modern DNA analysis, they're rejuvenating their fight for new trials.

A real life #AsteroidCity (sorta) that I stumbled upon while driving in South Carolina today.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

We have replaced 35 bridges in Eastern Kentucky, and repaired another 22 bridges impacted by July's deadly floods. We've also installed 42 temporary crossings on county roads.
This infrastructure is crucial to these communities and we are making this work a priority. @KYTC

Today, Martin Lucio Santillan is exonerated after a 1998 capital murder conviction in Dallas.
It’s been more than 25 years since he was wrongly arrested in ‘97.
Creuzot says advancement in DNA tests proved he’s innocent. “Mr. Santillan should never have been convicted.” @wfaa

My favorite Disney movie remains 1979’s critically acclaimed “Honey, I Shrunk Dave Winfield.”
Come on, Goodell, cancel this game. Out of respect for Damar Hamlin but also because Bills and Bengals players will be at even a greater risk of injury if they return to the field after such a long and emotional break.

highly recommend @alanmaimon's newish book "Twilight in Hazard" where he discusses the hollowness of this kind of political rhetoric.
The book is packed with fascinating nuggets on KY & EKY, and scores bonus points for taking to task bad takes from JD Vance and Malcolm Gladwell – at Louisville, KY
Unconscionable. Energy security is national security. Kentucky knows that coal keeps the lights on. As your Governor, I’ll never put our energy security in danger. courier-journal.com/story/ne…
Looking forward to tonight’s 7 pm ET virtual event featuring discussions of “Twilight in Hazard” and Dr. William H. Turner’s terrific book, “The Harlan Renaissance: Stories of Black Life in Appalachian Coal Towns.
